"Repose of the Fallen” Reinters Remains of Revolutionary War Era Patriots

The idea for the project was spurred in 2019, when the remains of several patriots believed to be from the Continental Army were found at a construction site on Courtland Street in Lake George. A subsequent analysis of scientific data and available historical records by the NYS Museum and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation determined that they were American soldiers and associated personnel who likely died in 1776, when a large army hospital was located near Lake George’s southern end.

The remains were then studied and reconstructed in the NYS Museum and the decision was made to bring them back home to Lake George to be properly honored, recognized and reinterred. On May 20th, the remains were transported in 40 wooden caskets in U.S. military vehicles from the Museum to their final resting place in Lake George.
